If there are any non fiction Storygraph (non-amazon owned alternative to Goodreads) users out there willing to share your username, please comment or DM me.

I'd like to see everything you've read/are reading for my own curiosity / to potentially add to my list. I love non fiction (sociology, memoir, politics, philosophy, feminism, history, health, art/poetry etc) but don't know anyone with quite the same tastes. I use the app feature to find similar users but it's a bit hit and miss.

To add some value to this post related to a specific book, my best somewhat niche recent recommendation is Darkness Now Visible by Carol Gilligan and David A.J Richards. They offer a fascinating and well written thesis about patriarchy in modern society

My favorite non-fiction recently was Trash! A Garbageman’s Story. I was sold at a memoir from a garbageman, but he’s also a great writer and it was a super entertaining book.

Thank you for mentioning this! I often trawl through lists online to find nonfiction reads but I know there's so much to discover that may not be featured elsewhere. What a great concept
